A great variety of multi-criteria decision aiding (MCDA) methods has already been developed but few papers have dealt with mixed data (qualitative and quantitative). MCDA techniques accepting different types of evaluations (such as deterministic, stochastic and/or fuzzy ones) are rather rare and not very well known, even though this issue is crucial from a practical point of view, since mixed evaluations occur very frequently in appraising and selecting projects and organizations, as well as in risk management modelling, among other fields. This paper presents a new discrete MCDA tool developed for mixed performances of alternatives called BIPOLAR MIX. It is based on the classical BIPOLAR method proposed by Konarzewska-Gubała (1989), and on its modification, namely the BIPOLAR method with stochastic dominance (SD) rules, proposed by Górecka (2009). A numerical example at the end of the paper illustrates the problem of ordering projects applying for co-financing from the European Union (EU).

Road route decisions very frequently cause discussions and disagreement since they involve the number of stakeholders with competing interests. Before the construction of the road can start, the route for this road has to be determined, taking into account various facets, e.g. financial, technological, social and environmental ones. Such a situation can be described in the following way: the best possible choice must be made out of a finite set of alternatives (potential road routes) evaluated against a set of criteria. For this purpose different multicriteria decision aiding methods can be used, e.g. a novel tool called SIPRES. Its algorithm combines the key elements of the revised Simos’ procedure and the ZAPROS method. The method is transparent and easy to implement. On the one hand, it allows decision-makers to define their preferences simply and provides a straightforward but effective method for analysing the trade-offs between the alternatives using selected reference alternatives only (the ZAPROS-like approach). On the other hand, the revised Simos’ procedure applied in the method allows determining the cardinal scores for the alternatives. The purpose of this paper is to illustrate how the road route can be selected with the help of the SIPRES method, and to show thereby that this technique may be useful for solving such complex problems and may improve a decision-making process in certain situations.

Innovation, to promotion and implementation of which more and more importance is attached in the European Union, is a factor which strongly affects the development of companies, regions and whole economies and constitutes the source of their competitive advantage. It means the capa- bility to search and implement modern technologies and new products, but it may also concern new organizational solutions and marketing techniques. The level of regions’ innovation depends on its inhabitants and on the companies operating there. Region itself is a base that can create favourable conditions for the development of innovations. The aim of the paper is to analyse the spatial differentiation of innovation of Polish regions. The regions will be classified and grouped into homogenous subsets upon the level of their innovation. In the research taxonomic and multi- criteria analysis methods will be applied.

The paper presents the issue of assessment of efficiency and effectiveness in organisations operating for public benefit. Taking into consideration the important role of those entities in the economy and specific conditions in which they operate, a new type of evaluation tools is needed. Therefore, the main aim of this paper is to propose such a new assessment instrument based on outranking multi-criteria decision aiding (MCDA) methods. The procedure proposed is used in a real-life scenario connected with the appraising process of eleven Public Benefit Organisations (PBOs) from Lodz Voivodeship in Poland, operating in the field of ‘Ecology, animals and heritage protection’, and eleven charities from Western Australia whose main activity is ‘Animal Protection’. Rankings obtained as a result of the presented approach can serve a potential donor as a pointer for making better decisions regarding financial support.

Evaluating Public Benefit Organizations in Poland with the EVAMIX Method for Mixed Data

The third sector and public benefit organizations (PBOs) play a significant role in the Polish economy. Although the third sector can boast of a long history in Poland, an intensive development of these entities has been observed since 1989. According to the current law, organizations with the public benefit status enjoy numerous benefits. This entails the need to adequately assess their activities, especially when taking into consideration the fact that they are not profit-oriented. The aim of this paper is to propose a new assessment method for evaluating PBOs. The recommended approach is based on multi-criteria decision aiding (MCDA). The procedure proposed employs the EVAMIX technique for mixed evaluations – a hybrid of the EVAMIX method and the EVAMIX method with stochastic dominance (SD) rules. An illustrative example uses eleven PBOs from Lodz Voivodeship operating in the field of ‘Ecology, animals and heritage protection’.
